Okay, I'll Say it

I went to dinner with my daughter when it was 3-0 and came home to watch the celebration in CHI. I laughed my @$$ off instead. What buffoons. Oh, let's not blame the poor schmuck in the stands: he didn't bobble a double play ball, serve up BP to several Marlins players, etc., etc. Let's place blame where it is due: Dusty Baker and the Cubs bullpen. Baker left Prior out there after it was apparent he was laboring AND he stupidly let Prior pitch to Pudge--a .500 hitter in the series with 1B open. Walk his @$$ and look for the DP. Instead, he rakes one, clears the bases and then comes the hook? Even I know better. Of course, with a bully like his and such a thin starting staff... Suffice it to say that these guys need to grow some 'nads; Stengel wouldn't have hesitated to have Reynolds or Raschi come in and relieve to nail down the pennant. I'm certain to draw a rasher of crap on this, but if I'm 3 up with no legitimate bullpen and five outs away, Kerry is coming in to nail it down. Now, they've got to pull it out in a one-game showdown.

If they make it, the Yankees (or God forbid the *(&^%& scum sox) are gonna mash them into little pieces.
